To catch up on previous questions:
The system is Lenny on an i386 with
a 1700 MHz Celeron and 1 Gb RAM, ASUS P4PE motherboard.
The slow performance (nearly full processor utilization) occurs not
only with iceweasel but also with galeon (2.0.4), on a variety of web
sites.
I do not recall having installed browser extensions.
I typically have open half a dozen browser windows. Yesterday I was
running galeon, rather than iceweasel. While editing a file with
XEmacs, I noticed the cursor moving with jumps, rather than smoothly.
Then I saw that galeon was hogging the processor. I began closing
browser windows one-by-one, and found one window which was causing the
problem. But I did not see anything peculiar about the web site (a
news site or blog, I forget which) which was in view.
Should I follow the procedure which generally is recommended for a
Window$ installation which displays the same symptom -- reinstall the
entire system?
